General  Information 

The  Profession  of  Forestry 

The  forester  of  the  future  is  a professional  with 
broad  interests  and  capabilities  whose  chief  aim 
is  the  wise  management  of  renewable  natural 
resources  for  the  benefit  of  society.  The  forester 
is  concerned  with  the  balanced  management  of 
forest  resources  for  optimum  yields  of  wood 
products,  abundant  wildlife,  plentiful  supplies  of 
pure  water,  attractive  scenic  and  recreational 
environments  in  both  wildland  and  urban  set- 
tings, and  a variety  of  other  services  and  prod- 
ucts. As  a result  of  rapidly  changing  economic 
and  social  conditions,  forestry  has  become  an 
extremely  challenging  profession. 

The  forester  is  trained  to  make  and  implement 
decisions  at  various  policy  levels  in  both  govern- 
ment and  industry.  Because  most  of  the  forest 
land  in  Ontario  and  the  other  provinces  of 
Canada  is  publicly  owned  and  administered  by 
the  provinces,  counties  or  regional  conservation 
authorities,  our  graduate  foresters  find  many 
professional  opportunities  with  various  govern- 
mental agencies.  On  the  other  hand,  private 
forest  industries  use  professional  foresters  to 
more  effectively  utilize  forest  resources  in  the 
production  of  their  various  forest  benefits.

Faculty  Facilities 

The  Faculty  of  Forestry  is  located  on  the  St. 
George  Campus  of  the  University  of  Toronto 
within  easy  access  to  all  University  facilities. 

The  main  office  of  the  Faculty  is  located  on  the 
fifth  floor  of  a modern  office  building  at  203 
College  Street.  Modern  teaching  laboratories 
are  located  at  45  St.  George  Street,  and  at 
1 Spadina  Crescent.  Graduate  facilities  are  also 
located  in  the  foregoing  locations  and  at  Glen- 
don  Hall,  2265  Bayview  Avenue. 

The  Forestry  library,  located  at  45  St.  George 
Street,  is  part  of  the  University  of  Toronto  Library 
system  and  includes  over  10,000  forestry  vol- 
umes and  documents  as  well  as  a large  microfiche 
collection  of  particular  interest  to  those  doing 
forestry  and  forestry-related  research. 

A tree  nursery  and  greenhouse  are  maintained 
at  Glendon  Hall.  Modern  computer  facilities 
and  services  are  provided  by  the  University  of 
Toronto  Computer  Centre  and  are  extensively 
used  by  the  Faculty  of  Forestry. 

The  Ontario  Ministry  of  Natural  Resources  has 
made  available  to  the  Faculty  areas  in  the 
various  forest  regions  of  southern  and  northern 
Ontario  for  research.  One  of  these  areas,  the 
Glavicic  Woodlot,  includes  37  ha  of  forest 
and  open  land.  It  is  well  suited  for  instruction 
and  research  in  management,  silviculture,  and 
ecology 

The  Faculty  also  has  access  to  8,200  ha  of 
forested  land  near  Dorset,  Ontario,  where  in- 
struction and  research  in  the  management  of 
central  Ontario  lands  for  timber,  recreation,  and 
wildlife  are  carried  out. 

Instruction  and  research  in  the  boreal  forest  are 
undertaken  at  the  Englehart  Management  Unit 
using  facilities  of  the  Ministry  of  Natural 
Resources. 

An  arboretum  on  800  ha  of  land  owned  by  the 
Toronto  General  Burying  Grounds  is  available 
under  a cooperative  agreement  with  the  Univer- 
sity of  Toronto  for  undergraduate  and  graduate 
research  projects 

Foresters’  Club 

The  membership  of  the  Foresters’  Club  includes 
all  undergraduate  B.Sc.F.  degree  students  of 
the  Faculty.  The  elected  executive  administers 
business  and  functions  of  concern  to  the 
students. 

The  Club  is  tne  students  voice  in  Faculty  and 
University  affairs.  Its  representatives  serve  on 


1 


various  Faculty-student  committees,  and  also 
act  as  liaison  between  the  University  administra- 
tion, SAC,  alumni,  and  the  student  body.  The 
Club  organizes  various  social  events  and  partici- 
pates in  other  ventures,  including  the  Woods- 
men’s Competition  Team,  and  the  publication 
of  "The  Annual  Ring”  student  yearbook  and  the 
“Slabs  and  Edgings"  quarterly. 

Forestry  Athletic  Association 

All  Forestry  undergraduate  students  are  mem- 
bers of  the  Athletic  Association. 

In  spite  of  the  relatively  small  enrolment  in 
Forestry  compared  to  the  larger  faculties  and 
colleges  in  the  University,  Forestry  students 
have  actively  participated  and  consistently 
done  well  in  intramural  hockey,  football,  soccer, 
lacrosse,  basketball,  volleyball,  field  hockey, 
and  water  polo. 

Petitions  and  Appeals 

Students  are  encouraged  to  communicate 
directly  with  staff  regarding  academic  ques- 
tions/problems, or  alternatively,  to  submit  a 
written  petition  for  consideration.  Petitions  re- 
garding examinations  must  be  submitted  ac- 
cording to  the  time  limit  given  on  page  5.  Such 
petitions  should  be  addressed  to  the  Chairman 
of  the  Petitions  Committee,  203  College  Street. 
Details  of  petition  procedures  are  available  from 
the  Faculty. 

Decisions  on  petitions  may  be  further  discussed 
with  the  Chairman  of  the  Petitions  Committee 
and/or  the  Dean.  If  appropriate,  a studertf  may 
initiate  a formal  appeal  to  the  Academic  Appeals 
Board  subsequent  to  petitioning.  An  academic 
appeal  is  an  appeal  by  a student  (i)  against  a 
decision  as  to  his  success  or  failure  in  meeting 
an  academic  standard  or  other  requirement;  or 

(ii)  as  to  the  applicability  to  his  case  of  any 
academic  regulation.  Details  on  “Structures  and 
Procedures  for  Academic  Appeals  by  Students” 
are  available  from  the  Secretary  of  the  Faculty, 
203  College  Street.  An  appeal  to  the  Academic 
Appeals  Board  shall,  except  in  exceptional 
circumstances,  be  commenced  by  filing  a 
notice  of  appeal  with  the  Secretary  of  the  Board 
no  later  than  ninety  days  after  the  decision  from 
which  the  appeal  is  being  taken  as  been  com- 
municated in  writing  to  the  appellant.

Reporting 

All  persons  convicted  of  academic  offences 
under  the  Code  of  Behaviour  on  Academic 
Matters  will  have  their  names  included  in  a re- 
port by  the  Provost  to  the  Academic  Affairs 
Committee. 

(b)  Non-Academic 

The  Council  of  the  Faculty  of  Forestry  has 
disciplinary  jurisdiction  over  the  conduct  of  all 
students  registered  in  the  Faculty  in  all  matters 
of  local  or  internal  concern  to  the  Faculty. 
Jurisdiction  over  the  conduct  of  students  while  in 
residence  rests  with  the  body  administering  the 
residence. 

Where  the  appropriate  body  exercising  dis- 
ciplinary jurisdiction  has  found  that  a student  of 
the  University  has  engaged  in  conduct  prejudi- 
cial to  the  interests  of  the  University,  the  Caput 
may,  in  its  discretion,  suspend  or  expel  such 
student  from  the  academic  privileges  of  the 
University.  Every  decision  of  the  Caput  involving 
the  expulsion  of  a student  from  the  University 
requires  confirmation  of  the  Governing  Council. 
The  role  of  the  Caput  and  the  Council  as 
described  above  is  contingent  on  the  under- 
standing that  offences  or  actions  or  claims  within 
the  jurisdiction  of  criminal  and  civil  courts  will  be 
referred  where  appropriate  to  those  courts  and 
will  only  be  reviewed  by  the  Caput  where  the 
implications  to  the  University  are  considered 
sufficiently  important  to  warrant  such  a review. 

Academic  Sanctions  for  Outstanding 
University  Obligations 

Consistent  with  the  University’s  “Policy  on  Aca- 
demic Sanctions  for  Students  Who  Have  Out- 


13 


standing  University  Obligations”,  the  following 
academic  sanctions  will  be  imposed  on  stu- 
dents who  have  outstanding  recognized  Univer- 
sity obligations: 

- statements  of  results  and  official  transcripts  of 
record  will  not  be  issued. 

- the  University  will  not  release  either  the  official 
document  (normally  called  diploma)  which 
declares  the  degree,  diploma  or  certificate 
earned  or  provide  oral  confirmations  or  writ- 
ten certification  of  degree  status  to  external 
enquirers.  Indebted  graduands  will  be  al- 
lowed to  walk  on  stage  and  have  their  names 
appear  on  the  convocation  program. 

- registration  will  be  refused  to  a continuing  or 
returning  student. 

The  University’s  Policy  is  founded  on  two  funda- 
mental principles: 

- the  application  of  academic  sanctions  to  stu- 
dents who  have  outstanding  financial  obliga- 
tions to  the  University  or  one  of  its  divisions 
should  be  made  on  a single  equitable  basis, 
regardless  of  a student’s  division  of  registra- 
tion. 

- an  obligation  to  pay  a legitimate  debt  exists 
regardless  of  the  size  of  the  debt. 

Following  is  a list  of  recognized  University  obliga- 
tions: 

- tuition  fees. 

- academic  and  other  incidental  fees. 

- residence  fees  and  other  residence  charges. 

- library  fines. 

- Bookstore  accounts. 

- loans  made  by  colleges,  faculties  or  the 
University. 

- Health  Service  accounts. 

- unreturned  or  damaged  instruments,  materials 
and  equipment. 

Payments  made  by  continuing  or  returning  stu- 
dents shall  be  applied,  first  to  outstanding 
University  debts  and  second,  to  current  fees.

be  made  freely  available.  In  addition,  The  Statu- 
tory Powers  Procedure  Act,  1971  of  Ontario

so  long  as  the  sources  of  such  com- 
ments are  identified  and  the  official 
student  academic  record  remains 
securely  within  the  custody  of  the  aca- 
demic division.  Reference  to  such  com- 
ments would  not  necessarily  appear  on 
official  academic  reports  such  as  tran- 
scripts or  statements  of  results. 

(b)  Access  by  University  staff 

Members  of  the  teaching  and  administrative 
staff  of  the  University  shall  have  access  to

Undergraduate  Students,  and  The  Newspaper 
shall  be  entitled  to  publish  and  distribute  within 
the  University  community  a University-wide 
directory  of  students  (including  undergraduate, 
graduate,  full-time  and  part-time)  giving  the 
residence  address  and  telephone  number  of 
students  as  long  as  there  is  a realistic  provision 
for  students  to  decline  to  consent  to  the  disclo- 
sure of  that  information. 

Names  and  addresses  of  students  will  also  be 
provided  to  recognized  campus  organizations

Financial  Assistance 

Government  Financial  Aid 
Full-time  students 

The  Ontario  Student  Assistance  Program  (OSAP) 
is  available  to  Ontario  students  who  are  Canadi- 
an citizens  or  permanent  residents  to  assist 
them  in  meeting  their  educational  costs.  OSAP 
includes  both  non-repayable  grant  and  loan 
assistance.  OSAP  loans  are  interest-free  and 


non-repayable  until  six  months  after  the  re- 
cipient has  graduated  or  ceased  to  be  a full-time 
student.  Information  concerning  the  eligibility 
and  assessment  criteria  may  be  obtained  from 
the  Office  of  Student  Awards,  University  of 
Toronto  (586-7950).  Application  forms  are  avail- 
able from  the  Faculty  Office  and  from  the  Office 
of  Student  Awards. 

Students  from  other  Canadian  provinces  should 
apply  through  their  provincial  financial  aid 
authority.  The  Office  of  Student  Awards  can 
provide  addresses  and,  in  many  cases,  applica- 
tion forms. 

Part-time  students 

Part-time  students  may  also  qualify  for  OSAP 
assistance.  Flowever,  the  following  programs 
may  be  of  greater  benefit  in  certain  situations: 

The  Federal  Government  has  recently  estab- 
lished a new  loan  program  for  part-time  students 
taking  less  than  60%  courseload.  Unlike  OSAP 
loans,  part-time  Canada  Student  Loans  are 
repayable  beginning  30  days  after  the  loan  is 
negotiated.  Further  information  and  application 
forms  may  be  obtained  from  the  Faculty  Office  or 
from  the  Office  of  Student  Awards. 

The  Ontario  Special  Bursary  Plan  provides 
assistance  to  part-time  students  in  serious  finan- 
cial need.  Bursaries  cover  direct  educational 
costs  such  as  tuition,  books,  and  transportation. 
Students  wishing  to  apply  should  contact  the 
Office  of  Student  Awards. 

Bursaries 

Bursaries  ranging  in  value  from  $1 00  to  $500  are 
awarded  on  the  basis  of  financial  need.  Applica- 
tion forms  are  available  from  the  Faculty  Office 
in  September  and  should  be  returned  to  the 
Secretary  of  the  Faculty  by  November  1 . Stu- 
dents who  encounter  financial  problems  after 
this  date  are  also  encouraged  to  contact  the 
Secretary  for  possible  bursary  assistance.

The  B.Sc.F.  Degree 
Program 

TRAINING  OF  PROFESSIONAL  FORESTERS 
AT  TORONTO 

The  undergraduate  Forestry  program  at  Toronto 
has  been  developed  on  a broad  base  that 
includes  courses  of  study  in  the  physical  sci- 
ences, engineering  and  mathematics,  the  bio- 
logical sciences,  the  humanities,  and  the  social 
sciences. 

Some  course  options  are  included  in  the  later 
years  of  the  program  when  the  student  may 
study  subjects  in  which  he  has  a special  interest 
or  aptitude.  Such  subject  areas  may  include 
silviculture,  land-use  planning,  forest  biology, 
timber  harvesting,  remote  sensing,  wildlife  man- 
agement and  forest  management  to  mention 
only  a few.  While  this  concentration  of  interest 
does  not  provide  a specialist’s  qualifications,  it 
better  prepares  the  student  for  professional 
work  in  various  environmental  and  industrial 
forestry  activities.  A wide  variety  of  subject  areas 
offered  by  the  various  faculties  of  the  University 
of  Toronto  including  Forestry  are  also  available. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  third  year,  students 
choose  either  the  Forestry  program  or  the  Wood 
Science  and  Forest  Products  program.  This 
latter  program  is  concerned  mainly  with  the 
anatomy  and  properties  of  wood  and  its  utiliza- 
tion as  an  industrial  material,  particularly  for  the 
chemical,  construction,  and  furniture  industries. 

Upon  successful  completion  of  either  the  regu- 
lar Forestry  program  or  the  Wood  Science 
program,  the  candidate  is  awarded  the  degree 
of  Bachelor  of  Science  in  Forestry  (B.Sc.F.). 

Further  specialization  and  training  in  research 
is  available  to  interested  and  able  students 
through  the  post-graduate  degree  programs  at 
the  master’s  and  doctorate  levels.  These  pro- 
grams are  offered  in  various  fields  of  forestry, 
including  forest  management,  forest  biology, 
and  wood  science  (see  page  41  for  further 
information  on  graduate  programs  in  forestry). 

PROFESSIONAL  EXPERIENCE  YEAR 

The  Professional  Experience  Year  is  a 1 6-month 
cooperative  venture  in  which  students  may  be 
employed  by  either  industry  or  government  in  a 
variety  of  forestry  or  forestry-related  jobs  that  will 
train  them  in  the  practical  aspects  of  forestry 
required  for  professional  competence.  The  pro- 
gram provides  an  excellent  opportunity  for  stu- 


dents to  gain  practical  experience  at  a time 
when  it  will  contribute  significantly  to  their  appre- 
ciation and  understanding  of  their  final  years  at 
the  University. 

This  program  is  available  to  students  who  have 
successfully  completed  two  years  of  study  and 
who  wish  to  undertake  a 16-month  work  experi- 
ence before  entering  the  third  year.  Interested 
students  will  be  screened  by  the  Faculty  on  the 
basis  of  academic  competence  and  demon- 
strated motivation. 

For  further  information  contact  the  Secretary  of 
the  Faculty. 


CURRICULUM  AND  STANDARDS 

Core  and  Elective  Courses 

Core  courses  contain  knowledge  essential  to 
the  development  of  professional  foresters  and  a 
student  must  attain  at  least  a minimum  standard 
of  understanding  in  these  courses  in  order  to 
graduate  with  professional  qualifications. 

Elective  courses,  on  the  other  hand,  permit  the 
student  to  pursue  his  own  forestry-related 
interests.  These  courses  may  be  chosen  by  the 
student  from  any  department  or  faculty*,  includ- 
ing Forestry,  within  the  University  with  the  per- 
mission of  the  instructor  in  charge  of  the  course 
and,  if  desired,  with  the  assistance  of  a counsel- 
ling Faculty  member.  Electives  must  include 
subject  content  at  a level  equal  to  or  higher  than 
the  content  of  courses  for  which  credit  has  been 
previously  awarded.  While  a passing  grade  is 
mandatory  in  all  core  courses  for  graduation,  a 
student  need  not  pass  every  elective  course 
which  he  attempts  as  long  as  he  passes  a 
sufficient  number  of  courses  to  satisfy  gradu- 
ation requirements. 

Some  of  the  Forestry  core  courses  taught  by 
other  University  divisions  (e.g.,  MAT129Y, 
CSC201FI,  STA222Y)  do  not  fulfil  prerequisite 
conditions  for  advanced  courses  in  the  depart- 
ments concerned.  Students  who  anticipate  ful- 
filling their  elective  course  requirements  with 
advanced  courses  offered  by  these  other  divi- 
sions should  consider  replacing  the  specified 
Forestry  core  courses  with  more  advanced 
introductory  courses.  For  further  information, 
contact  the  Secretary  of  the  Faculty. 


*Exception:  “PA”  (activity)  courses  offered  by 
the  School  of  Physical  and  Health  Education  will 
not  be  accepted  for  elective  credit.

Transfer  Credit 

A student  wishing  to  take  a summer,  evening,  or 
other  course  at  another  university  for  credit 
toward  the  B.Sc.F.  degree  is  required  to  petition 
the  Faculty  for  permission  to  take  the  course 
before  applying  to  that  university.  The  intent  of 
this  ruling  is  to  ensure  that  the  course  being 
applied  for  will  be  at  an  adequate  level  and 
content  to  qualify  for  credit.  The  minimum  grade 
for  a course  from  another  university  (taken 
prior  or  subsequent  to  entering  the  B.Sc.F 
degree  program)  to  be  granted  as  an  advanced 
standing  or  transfer  credit  in  the  B.Sc.F.  degree 
program  is  60%.  Credit  for  core  subjects  will 
be  given  according  to  the  Faculty’s  weight  units 
or  the  original  university’s  weight  units,  which- 
ever is  less.  Normally  no  weight  units  will 
be  granted  for  courses  completed  at  a non- 
university level.  The  student  is  responsible  for 
ensuring  that  an  official  transcript  of  the  course 
result  is  submitted  to  the  Secretary  of  the 
Faculty  if  transfer  credit  is  to  be  recognized 
for  the  B.Sc.F.  degree.

by  the  University  Grading  Practices  Policy  and 
the  Faculty  Grading  Practices  Policy.  Copies  of 
these  documents  are  available  on  request  to  the 
Secretary  of  the  Faculty.  The  following  informa- 
tion (Grade  Scale,  Grading  Regulations  and 
Appeal  Procedures  and  Student  Access  to 
Examination  Papers)  is  taken  from  the  Faculty 
Grading  Practices  Policy:

dence of  even  a superficial  understanding 
of  the  subject  matter;  weakness  in  critical 
and  analytic  skills,  with  limited  or  irrelevant 
use  of  literature. 

Note:  The  word  “performance”  is  assumed  to 

include  facility  in  written  communication. 

Designators  and  Other  Non-Grade  Symbols 

Used  in  Reporting  Course  Credits 

(a)  Designators:  assigned  and  reported  in- 
stead of  regular  grades. 

AEG:  Aegrotat  standing  granted  on  the 
basis  of  term  work  and  medical  or 
similar  evidence.  AEG  is  assigned  by 
the  Faculty  Examinations  and  Stand- 
ing Committee  upon  approval  of  a 
student’s  petition.  It  carries  credit  for 
the  course  but  is  not  considered  for 
averaging  purposes. 

*Failed  course. 


25 


DNW:  Did  not  write/did  not  attend/did  little 
work.  DNW  is  assigned  by  the  in- 
structor and  may  be  confirmed  or 
changed  to  another  symbol  during 
the  Faculty  grade  review.  If  con- 
firmed, it  carries  no  credit  for  the 
course  but  is  used  for  averaging 
purposes  with  a value  of  0%. 

NGA:  No  grade  available.  NGA  is  assigned 
by  the  Faculty  in  the  extraordinary 
case  that  a grade  is  not  available  for 
one  of  its  students  enrolled  in  a 
course.  It  must  be  replaced  by  a 
regular  grade  assigned  by  the  in- 
structor or  by  another  symbol  as- 
signed during  the  Faculty  review.  It 
carries  no  credit  for  the  course  and 
is  not  considered  for  averaging  pur- 
poses. 

SDF:  Standing  deferred  on  the  basis  of 
incomplete  course  work  because  of 
medical  or  similar  reasons.  SDF  is 
assigned  by  the  Faculty  Examina- 
tions and  Standing  Committee  upon 
approval  of  a student’s  petition  or  an 
instructor’s  recommendation.  It  must 
be  replaced  by  a regular  grade  as- 
signed by  the  instructor  before  the 
expiry  of  a specific  extension  period. 
It  carries  no  credit  for  the  course  and 
is  not  considered  for  averaging  pur- 
poses. (When  the  SDF  is  replaced  by 
a regular  grade,  the  grade  and  credit 
will  be  applied  to  the  student’s  ses- 
sional and  cumulative  averages  and 
sessional  and  cumulative  weight 
units,  for  the  session  when  the  re- 
placement is  made.) 

(b)  Modifiers:  assigned  and  reported  in  con- 
junction with  a regular  grade. 

*:  Assessed  grade  granted  on  the  basis  of 
term  work  and  medical  or  similar  evi- 
dence. A grade  is  modified  by  an  asterisk 
(*)  by  the  Faculty  Examinations  and 
Standing  Committee  on  the  basis  of  a 
student’s  petition  or  an  instructor’s  re- 
commendation. If  the  grade  is  satisfac- 
tory, it  carries  credit  for  the  course.  An 
asterisked  grade  is  considered  for  aver- 
aging purposes. 

I:  Incomplete;  earned  grade  shown.  “I”  is 
assigned  by  the  instructor  together  with 
the  grade  when  the  overall  performance 
in  a course  is  satisfactory  but  an  essential 
part  of  the  term  work  has  not  been 
completed.  This  work  must  be  completed 
to  the  instructor’s  satisfaction  within  a 


specified  period,  whereupon  the  modi- 
fier will  be  removed  but  the  grade  will 
not  be  otherwise  changed.  Credit  for  the 
course  will  be  granted  only  if  the  modifier 
is  removed.  A grade  modified  by  “I” 
is  considered  for  averaging  purposes. 
(When  the  “I”  is  cleared  the  course  credit 
will  be  applied  to  the  student’s  sessional 
and  cumulative  weight  units  for  the  ses- 
sion when  the  “I”  is  cleared.) 

(c)  Notations:  reported  with  a regular  grade, 
but  not  indicative  of  student  performance. 
X:  Extra  course;  not  for  degree  credit.  “X”  is 
specified  by  the  student’s  counsellor  or 
the  Secretary  of  the  Faculty  at  the  time 
the  student  registers  for  the  course.  The 
grade  for  the  course  is  assigned  in  the 
usual  way  by  the  instructor.  A grade 
accompanied  by  the  notation  “X”  carries 
no  credit  for  the  course  and  is  not  con- 
sidered for  averaging  purposes. 

Grading  Regulations 

(a)  The  instructor  in  each  course  shall  provide 
notice  in  writing,  at  a regularly  scheduled 
class  meeting  held  as  early  as  possible  in 
the  term  but  before  the  final  date  to  add  or 
substitute  courses,  the  details  of  the  com- 
position of  the  final  mark  which  applies  to 
that  course.  This  information  shall  also  be 
submitted  to  the  Faculty  Examinations  and 
Standing  Committee  via  the  Secretary  of  the 
Faculty,  specifying  the  weighting  of  each 
component  of  the  final  course  mark. 

(b)  After  the  final  date  to  add  or  substitute 
courses,  the  composition  of  the  final  mark 
in  a course  cannot  be  changed  except  by 
approval  of  the  instructor  and  at  least  a two- 
thirds  majority  of  the  students  enrolled  in  the 
course.  The  Faculty  Examinations  and  Stand- 
ing Committee  must  then  be  informed  of  the 
change  and  the  reasons  for  the  change. 

(c)  At  the  same  time  as  the  composition  of  the 
final  mark  is  announced  (see  (a)  above), 
due  dates,  manner  of  submission  and 
penalties  for  failure  to  comply  shall  also  be 
specified  and  announced  for  all  work  to  be 
submitted  by  students  for  credit  in  a course. 
All  term  work  must  be  submitted  no  later 
than  the  last  day  of  lectures  in  the  term,  as 
published  in  this  calendar. 

(d)  (i)  All  written  term  work  must  normally  be 

returned  to  students  after  evaluation 
with  what  the  instructor  considers  to  be 
appropriate  commentary. 

(ii)  After  evaluating  and  returning  items  of 
term  work,  the  instructor  or  the  teaching 
assistant(s)  shall  be  available  as  ap- 


26 


propriate  to  meet  with  each  student  who 
wishes  to  discuss  the  work  and/or  the 
commentary  offered. 

(iii)  Final  examination  answer  papers  are 
not  returned  to  students.  The  instructor 
must  deliver  them  to  the  Faculty  Office 
for  storage.  The  papers  will  be  stored 
until  March  15  or  November  15  (which- 
ever comes  first)  following  the  semester 
in  which  the  course  was  offered,  after 
which  they  will  be  destroyed. 

(e)  The  following  rules  and  guidelines  apply  to 
the  evaluation  of  student  performance  in  all 
courses  offered  within  the  Faculty.  Where 
appropriate,  however,  an  instructor  may 
apply  to  the  Faculty  Examinations  and 
Standing  Committee  for  permission  to 
deviate  from  the  rules. 

(i)  Student  performance  in  a course  will  be 
assessed  by  means  of  more  than  one 
evaluation  element,  and  no  one  element 
will  have  an  inordinate  value  in  the 
assessment.  Exemption  from  this  regu- 
lation may  be  granted  by  the  Faculty 
Examinations  and  Standing  Committee. 

(ii)  The  dates  of  term  tests  should  be  an- 
nounced in  advance.  Unannounced 
term  tests,  if  used,  shall  be  used  only 
in  the  laboratory  sessions  of  courses 
and  should  not  count  for  more  than  a 
minor  fraction  of  the  total  mark  for  term 
work,  and  the  value  of  this  fraction 
should  be  specified  early  in  the  term 
when  the  details  of  the  composition  of 
the  final  course  mark  are  announced  in 
class. 

(iii)  A final  written  examination,  conducted 
within  the  published  examination 
period  under  the  jurisdiction  of  the 
Faculty  Council  and  counting  for  at 
least  35%  of  the  final  mark,  shall  be  held 
in  each  course  that  meets  regularly  as  a 
class.  The  relative  value  of  each  part 
of  a written  examination  will  be  in- 
dicated on  the  examination  paper. 
Exemption  from  this  regulation  may  be 
granted  by  the  Faculty  Examinations 
and  Standing  Committee. 

(iv)  Any  variation  from  the  normal  Faculty 
examination  procedures  (e.g.,  take- 
home  examination,  oral  examination, 
outside  the  published  examination 
period,  etc.)  requires  the  prior  approval 
of  the  Faculty  Examinations  and  Stand- 
ing Committee,  on  an  annual  basis.  Re- 
quests for  approval  of  special  examina- 
tion arrangements  must  be  made  by 
August  15  for  the  fall  semester  and  by 


December  1 for  the  spring  semester 
and  announcement  to  the  class  may 
not  be  made  until  the  approval  of  the 
Committee  is  obtained. 

(v)  The  only  aids  which  a candidate  may 
bring  to  the  final  examination  and  use, 
other  than  those  which  may  be  pro- 
vided by  the  examiner  or  specified  on 
the  examination  paper,  are  pen  and 
pencil,  a bilingual  dictionary  (for 
students  having  difficulty  with  the 
English  language)  if  presented  to  the 
presiding  examiner  for  inspection  and 
approval  prior  to  each  examination  at 
which  its  use  is  proposed,  and  drafting 
instruments,  and  electronic  calculators, 
without  their  carrying  cases.  Electronic 
calculators  must  be  non-printing,  silent 
and  self-powered. 

(vi)  Under  no  circumstances  will  students 
be  permitted  to  evaluate  their  own  work 
for  credit  in  a course. 

Appeal  Procedures  and  Student  Access  to 

Examination  Papers 

(a)  Appeal  Procedures 

Appeals  of  assigned  grades  by  students  will 
be  submitted  to  the  Faculty  Petitions  and 
Awards  Committee. 

A student  should  submit  to  the  Faculty 
Petitions  and  Awards  Committee,  immedi- 
ately after  its  occurrence,  evidence  of  any 
illness  or  mishap  which  hampers  the  ability 
of  the  student  to  complete  course  require- 
ments. Any  petitions  for  special  considera- 
tion because  of  such  incidents  may  be 
refused  consideration  if  received  after  the 
third  day  following  the  last  day  of  examina- 
tions. 

(b)  Access  to  Examination  Question  Papers 
Access  to  previous  final  examination  ques- 
tion papers  is  normally  available  through  the 
Forestry  Library.  Exceptions  to  this  rule  may 
be  granted  by  the  Faculty  Examinations  and 
Standing  Committee. 

(c)  Reproduction  of  Final  Examination  Answer 
Papers 

A student  may  obtain  a reproduction  of  his 
final  examination  answer  paper  written  un- 
der the  jurisdiction  of  the  Council  of  the 
Faculty  of  Forestry  by  submission  of  a 
written  request  to  the  Secretary  of  the 
Faculty  within  the  period  ending  on  March 
15  or  November  15  (whichever  comes  first) 
following  the  semester  in  which  the  course 
was  taken.  The  request  must  be  accompa- 
nied by  a fee  of  $5  for  each  examination 
paper  to  be  reproduced. 


27 


(d)  Rechecking  of  Marks 

Within  the  period  ending  on  March  15  or 
November  15  (whichever  comes  first)  fol- 
lowing the  semester  in  which  the  course  was 
taken,  a student  may  have  the  final  mark  in 
any  course  listed  in  the  Faculty  calendar 
rechecked  by  written  request  to  the  Secre- 
tary of  the  Faculty,  accompanied  by  a fee  of 
$5  for  each  course  to  be  rechecked.  The 
instructor  will  review  the  student’s  examina- 
tion paper  (if  a final  examination  was  held  in 
the  course)  to  ensure  that  all  questions  were 
properly  marked  in  accordance  with  the 
original  marking  procedure  used  for  the 
entire  class,  that  the  addition  of  marks  was 
correct,  that  the  term  marks  were  correctly 
compiled,  and  that  the  clerical  operations 
involved  in  the  computation  and  reporting  of 
the  final  mark  were  without  error.  Mark 
adjustments  based  upon  lenient  recon- 
sideration of  the  student’s  work  will  not  be 
made. 

If  an  error  is  found  that  results  in  any  change 
(either  up  or  down)  in  the  student’s  final 
mark,  the  fee  for  rechecking  the  mark  will 
be  refunded. 

Course  Weights 

For  FOR  courses,  12  weight  units  are  assigned 
to  F*,  S*,  and  FI*  courses  and  24  weight  units  are 
assigned  to  Y*  courses. 

Weights  for  courses  are  assigned  by  the 
academic  units  responsible  for  the  courses. 

Course  Load 

The  normal  course  load  for  a full-time  student  is 
72  weight  units  per  semester.  A student  who  is  in 
pass  status  may  carry  a maximum  course  load 
of  up  to  84  weight  units  per  semester  while  the 
recommended  maximum  course  load  for  a stu- 
dent on  probation  is  72  weight  units. 

A first  year  student  must  carry  a course  load  of  at 
least  60  weight  units  per  semester.  FOR114S 
(Forest  Measurement  Techniques)  is  not  con- 
sidered when  determining  course  loads. 

Statement  on  Essays  and  Papers 

There  is  no  objection  to  a student  preparing  and 
submitting  to  two  instructors  papers  on  aspects 
of  the  same  topic  provided  that  the  student 
makes  a full  disclosure  of  the  fact  to  both 
instructors  and  is  able  to  satisfy  each  instructor 
that  the  additional  work  differentiating  each 

*See  page  34  for  key. 


paper  from  the  other  represents,  when  taken 
with  the  common  elements,  a satisfactory  fulfil- 
ment of  the  writing  and  research  requirements 
for  each  course. 

Deadline  for  Submission  of  Term  Work 

Unless  an  earlier  date  is  specified  by  the  in- 
structor, all  term  work  must  be  submitted  on  or 
before  the  last  day  of  classes  in  the  course 
concerned.  Students  who,  for  reasons  beyond 
their  control,  wish  to  seek  an  extension  of  the 
deadline  must  consult  the  Secretary  of  the 
Faculty  and  petition  if  necessary. 

In  order  to  avoid  an  undue  concentration  of  work 
near  the  end  of  term,  a wise  student  will  organize 
his  time  and  keep  term  work  up  to  date  through- 
out the  session. 

Averaging 

A weighted  average  (the  weight  factor  for  each 
course  being  the  weight  units  assigned  to  it)  will 
be  determined  for  all  courses  completed  in  the 
fall  semester  to  calculate  the  interim  “semester 
average”  and  for  all  courses  completed  in  the 
session  (fall  and  spring  semesters)  to  calculate 
the  “sessional  average”. 

The  “accumulated  average”,  on  the  other  hand, 
is  the  weighted  average  of  all  passed  courses  to 
date. 

Stage  of  Progress 

A student’s  progress  through  the  B.Sc.F.  de- 
gree program  will  be  assessed  by  the  accumu- 
lated weight  units  for  courses  he  has  success- 
fully completed.  For  the  purpose  of  awards  and 
administrative  convenience,  student  progress 
will  generally  be  designated  at  the  beginning  of 
the  session  as  follows: 

Stage  of  Progress 

First  year  student 
Second  year  student 
Third  year  student 
Fourth  year  student 

Supplemental  Examinations 

By  petition,  a fourth  year  student  who  has  failed 
one  FOR  course  in  his  last  session  but  who  has 
attained  an  overall  pass  status  and  who  has  met 
all  other  degree  requirements  may  be  given  an 
opportunity  to  complete  his  degree  require- 
ments by  writing  a supplemental  examination  in 
the  failed  course  in  lieu  of  returning  and  enrolling 
in  a single  course  in  a subsequent  session.

Exception:  A third  year  student  who  fails  one  of 
the  FOR  Wood  Science  core  courses  offered  in 
alternate  years  may  be  permitted,  by  petition,  to 
write  a supplemental  examination  in  that  course 
in  the  same  year  if  he  could  complete  all  other 
outstanding  degree  requirements  in  one  addi- 
tional normal  session. 

A petition  to  write  one  supplemental  examination 
must  be  received  by  the  Faculty  Secretary  no 
later  than  July  15  following  the  session  in  which 
the  course  was  failed. 

Supplemental  examinations  will  normally  be 
scheduled  to  be  written  sometime  during  the 
first  two  weeks  of  the  fall  semester  following  the 
session  when  the  course  was  failed. 

Supplemental  examinations  will  normally  be 
written  at  the  Faculty.  Students  who  wish  to  write 
a supplemental  examination  at  an  alternate 
location  or  time  must  so  state  in  their  petition  and 
request  permission  to  do  so.  Such  a request  will 
only  be  granted  in  exceptional  circumstances. 
Students  who  are  granted  this  privilege  must 
defray  any  additional  costs  incurred. 

Timber  Harvesting  Systems 
Field  Work  Requirement 

Students  entering  in  the  B.Sc.F.  degree  pro- 
gram in  1985-86  and  thereafter  are  required  to 
obtain  credit,  prior  to  graduation,  in  Timber 
Harvesting  Systems  Field  Work.  This  require- 
ment does  not  have  course  status  or  weight  units 
but  will  be  indicated  on  a student’s  grade  report 
and  transcript  as  “credit”  (CR)  or  “no  credit” 
(NCR). 

Practical  Experience  Requirement 

Students  entering  the  B.Sc.F.  program  in 
1982-83  and  thereafter  are  required  to  com- 
plete, prior  to  graduation,  at  least  500  hours 
(approximately  15  weeks)  of  forestry-related 
practical  work  of  a nature  acceptable  to  the 
Faculty’s  Undergraduate  Curriculum  Committee 
or  its  representative  (questions  should  be  ad- 
dressed to  the  Faculty  Secretary).  This  will 
normally  be  done  during  the  summer  vacation, 
but  work  done  before  entering  the  Faculty  may 
also  meet  this  requirement.  Practical  experience 
record  forms  (to  be  completed  by  the  student 
and  signed  by  the  employer)  are  available  from 
the  Faculty  office  and  must  be  returned  there 
when  completed. 

The  status  of  this  requirement  will  be  indicated 
on  a student's  fourth-year  grade  report  and 
transcript  as  a grade  of  “CR”  (credit)  or  “NCR” 
(no  credit).  Participation  in  the  professional 


experience  year  automatically  satisfies  this 
practical  experience  requirement. 

Graduation  Requirements 

In  order  to  qualify  for  the  B.Sc.F.  degree  a 
student  must  have: 

(a)  Passed  the  core  courses  outlined  in  the 
undergraduate  curriculum  or  their  equiva- 
lents as  recognized  by  the  Council  of  the 
Faculty; 

(b)  Passed  sufficient  elective  courses,  in  addi- 
tion to  the  core  courses,  to  have  accumulated 
a minimum  of  580  weight  units; 

(c)  Satisfied  the  timber  harvesting  systems 
field  work  requirement  (applicable  to  stu- 
dents entering  the  B.Sc.F.  degre  program  in 
1985-86  and  thereafter  only); 

(d)  Satisfied  the  practical  experience  require- 
ment; 

(e)  Obtained  an  accumulated  average  of  sixty 
percent  or  better. 

Probation  Status 

Probation  status  is  used  as  an  initial  warning  to  a 
student  that  his  work  is  not  up  to  the  standard 
necessary  in  order  to  achieve  the  minimum  60 
percent  accumulated  average  required  for  the 
B.Sc.F.  degree. 

A student  will  be  placed  on  probation  if,  during 
any  session,  he  obtains  a sessional  average  of 
from  50  to  59  percent. 

A student  will  remain  on  probation  until  two 
conditions  are  met: 

(a)  He  achieves  a sessional  average  of  60 
percent  or  greater;  and 

(b)  His  accumulated  average  is  60  percent  or 
greater. 

Fail  Status 

A student  will  be  considered  to  have  failed  and 
must  withdraw  for  one  winter  session  if,  during 
any  session,  he  obtains  a sessional  average 
below  50  percent. 

A student  must  withdraw  for  one  winter  session 
if,  while  on  probation,  he  obtains  a sessional 
average  of  less  than  60  percent.  Such  with- 
drawals will  be  considered  to  be  a fail. 

Readmission  to  the  Faculty  of  Forestry  after 
withdrawal  will  be  contingent  upon  permission 
of  the  Faculty  and  upon  space  available  after 
other  students  in  good  standing  have  been 
promoted. 

A student  who  has  been  required  to  withdraw 
and  who  subsequently  registers  is  "on  proba- 
tion". 


29 


A student  who  has  earned  two  sessional  failures, 
whether  at  this  or  another  university,  will  not  be 
permitted  to  register  in  the  B.Sc.F.  program. 

Standings 

Sessional  and  accumulated  averages  of  suc- 
cessful students  will  be  considered  as  follows: 

80  percent  or  over 

70-79  percent 
60-69  percent 


First  Class

Pass 


Part-Time  Students 

Part-time  student  status  is  permitted  only  for  a 
student  who,  at  the  beginning  of  the  session, 
needs  fewer  than  120  weight  units  to  complete 
his  degree  requirements  (i.e. , normally  a fourth 
year  student),  or  for  a special  student  (not 
proceeding  to  a degree). 

A part-time  student  is  one  who  is  carrying  a 
course  load  of  fewer  than  1 20  weight  units  per 
session  and  who,  at  the  time  of  registration  for 
the  session,  indicated  that  he  intended  to  pur- 
sue studies  on  a part-time  basis.  Part-time/ 
full-time  status  will  not  be  changed  automatically 
by  the  Faculty  but  must  be  specified  by  the 
student  to  the  Faculty  Office  at  the  time  of  registra- 
tion only.

UNDERGRADUATE  CURRICULUM 


Following  is  the  recommended  sequence  of  core  courses  that  will  minimize  timetable  conflicts  and 
will  permit  the  student  to  obtain  the  B.Sc.F.  degree  in  four  years.  It  is  not  necessary  for  a student  to 
adhere  strictly  to  this  sequence.  However,  students  are  reminded  (see  page  28)  that  a normal  course 
load  per  semester  is  72  weight  units  (six  courses  at  12  weight  units  each)  and  that  the  graduation 
requirements  shown  on  page  29  must  be  met  in  order  to  qualify  for  the  degree. 

Beginning  in  1985-86,  extensive  revisions  were  approved  for  the  B.Sc.F.  degree  program  curriculum 
and  these  are  in  the  process  of  being  implemented,  one  year  at  a time  over  four  years,  for  new 
students  entering  the  B.Sc.F.  degree  program  from  1 985-86  on.  The  list  of  courses  shown  below  is  a 
combination  of  the  “new”  program  (first  and  second  years)  and  the  “old”  program  applicable  for 
students  who  were  registered  in  1984-85  and/or  before  that  session.  The  subsequent  “new” 
program  for  the  next  two  years  is  also  shown. 

Revisions  to  the  Wood  Science  and  Forest  Products  program  were  also  approved  and  implementa- 
tion began  in  1 985-86;  the  program  reverted  to  a yearly  plan  from  an  alternate  year  schedule  and  the 
transition  schedule  for  1986-87  and  the  fully  revised  program  to  take  effect  1987-88  are  shown  on 
the  following  pages. 

Failure  by  a student  to  comply  with  the  regulations  posted  and  the  deadlines  published  governing 
the  addition/deletion  of  courses  from  the  Faculty’s  program  records  may  result  in  zero  credit/zero 
grade  in  a course  or  an  administrative  fine,  as  determined  by  the  Faculty  Examinations,  Petitions  and 
Awards  Committee.

UNDERGRADUATE 
COURSE  DESCRIPTIONS 

F,  S,  & H courses  = 12  weight  units 
Y courses  = 24  weight  units 

Key  to  Course  Descriptions 
The  courses  described  below  have  a three  letter 
code,  FOR,  plus  a three  digit  number.  The  first 
digit  of  the  course  number  normally  indicates 
the  year  of  most  of  the  students  in  the  course. 
Thus  FOR103F  is  designated  primarily  for  first 
year  students  although  it  is  in  fact  open  to 
students  in  all  years.  The  second  and  third  digits 
indicate  whether  the  course  is  a core  course  that 
must  betaken  for  the  degree,  i.e. , digits  1 to  49, 
or  an  elective  course,  i.e.,  digits  50  to  99.  Third 
and  fourth  year  core  courses  are  further  differen- 
tiated by  the  use  of  digits  1 to  29  for  Forestry  core 
and  digits  30  to  49  for  Wood  Science  core 
courses. 

Letter  suffixes  indicate  the  following: 

Y = Full  session  course 
F = Half  course  offered  in  the  fall  semester 
S = Half  course  offered  in  the  spring  semester 
H = Half  course  offered  through  the  two 
semesters 

F,  S = Half  course  offered  either  in  the  fall  or  the 
spring  semester 

F&S  = Half  course  offered  in  the  fall  and  in  the 
spring  semester 

Y&S  = Offered  as  both  a full  session  course 
and  also  as  a half  course  in  the  spring 
semester. 

The  digits  included  within  the  square  brackets 
below  the  course  number  designate  weekly 
contact  hours  in  terms  of  lectures  (L),  practicals 
(P)  (laboratories),  seminars  (S),  and  tutorials  (T), 
respectively.  For  example,  [32-]  for  FOR103F 
indicates  that  the  course  is  comprised  of  three 
lecture  and  two  practical  hours  per  week. 

On  the  same  line  as  the  contact  hour  reference 
the  timetable  is  given  as  follows: 

M = Monday 
T = Tuesday 
W = Wednesday 
R = Thursday 
F = Friday 
S = Saturday 

N = timetable  not  yet  specified 
ARR  = timetable  hours  to  be  arranged  in  con- 
sultation with  the  instructor 

Courses  are  offered  from  8:00  a.m.  to  9:30  p.m., 
Monday  to  Saturday  inclusive.  Some  Saturday 
field  trips  are  required. 


When  a course  is  given  at  more  than  one 
timetable  hour,  section  numbers  are  indicated. 
Thus  for  FORI  03F,  LMWF9;  PI  :R2— 4;  P2:T2-4, 
means  that  lectures  will  be  given  Mondays,

The  Dip.R.M.  Program 


General 

A Diploma  in  Resource  Management  program  is 
offered  by  the  Faculty  of  Forestry  to  graduates 
with  baccalaureate  degrees  from  recognized 
universities  in  forestry,  landscape  architecture, 
biological  sciences,  environmental  sciences  and 
managerial  sciences. 

The  Dip.R.M.  program  is  intended  for  those 
presently  involved  in  resource  management 
who  wish  to  obtain  further  specialization  and 
updating  of  their  knowledge  and  is  not  intended 
to  take  the  place  of,  either  entirely  or  in  part,  the 
research-oriented  M.Sc.F.  program  offered  by 
the  Department  of  Forestry  of  the  School  of 
Graduate  Studies.  However,  results  of  course 
work  taken  in  the  Diploma  program,  along  with 
other  academic  qualifications,  may  be  con- 
sidered for  admission  if  the  candidate  subse- 
quently wishes  to  apply  to  the  M.Sc.F.  program. 
The  Dip.R.M.  program  enhances  the  B.Sc.F. 
program  but  does  not  replace  it  as  a means  of 
obtaining  professional  forester  status. 

For  information  on  sessional  dates,  refer  to  page 
5 of  this  calendar,  and  for  grading  practices  to 
pages  25-28.  In  addition,  the  following  sections 
of  this  calendar  include  information  applicable 
to  the  Dip.R.M.  program:  General  Information; 
Admission  and  Registration  - English  Facility, 
Procedure  for  Registration,  Withdrawals  or 
Transfers;  Fees. 

No  financial  assistance  is  presently  available  for 
Diploma  students  from  Faculty  sources.  How- 
ever, students  may  be  eligible  for  government 
financial  assistance  (see  “Financial  Assistance”, 
page  23). 

Program  and  Graduation  Requirements 

Students  are  required  to  take  the  equivalent  of  at 
least  five  full-year  university  courses  in  the  first 
two  years  of  the  program.  Normally  at  least  three 
of  these  will  be  third  and  fourth  year  level 
undergraduate  courses.  If  taken,  a lower  level 
undergraduate  course  should  be  offset  by  one 
graduate  course. 

Course  selection  is  done  by  each  student  in 
consultation  with  his  supervisor.  Courses  may 
be  chosen  from  FOR  offerings  listed  elsewhere 


in  this  calendar  and  from  offerings  of  other 
divisions  of  the  University  of  Toronto.  Each 
student’s  program  of  courses  is  subject  to 
approval  by  the  Director  of  the  Diploma  pro- 
gram. 

In  order  to  qualify  for  the  Dip.R.M.,  a student 
must  have: 

(a)  taken  and  passed  (minimum  50%  in  each) 
the  equivalent  of  at  least  five  full-year  courses, 
previously  approved  by  the  Director  of  the 
program. 

(b)  achieved  a weighted  sessional  average  (the 
weight  factor  for  each  course  being  the 
weight  units  assigned  to  it  by  the  division 
offering  the  course)  in  the  courses  taken 
each  year  of  60%  or  better. 

(c)  prepared  and  submitted  a major  paper 
(under  the  designation  FOR499F/S),  on  the 
basis  of  library,  laboratory,  or  field  research, 
in  one  of  the  following  three  general  areas: 
forest  management,  forest  biology,  or  wood 
science.  The  paper  must  be  of  a standard 
acceptable  to  the  student’s  supervisor  and 
the  Director  of  the  Diploma  program.  The 
mark  assigned  to  the  major  paper  will  not  be 
included  in  the  weighted  sessional  average. 

(d)  completed  all  of  the  above  requirements 
within  a maximum  of  thirty-six  months  from 
initial  registration  in  the  program.  The  mini- 
mum period  of  residence  for  the  diploma  is 
two  semesters  (fall  and  spring)  of  one  aca- 
demic session. 

A student  who  achieves  a sessional  average  of 
less  than  60%  will  be  considered  to  have  failed 
and  must  withdraw  from  the  program. 

Application  Procedure 

Candidates  should  write  to  the  Secretary  of  the 
Faculty  to  request  an  application  form.  Com- 
pleted applications  accompanied  by  an  official 
transcript  from  the  university  where  the  bachelor’s 
degree  was  obtained  should  be  received  by  the 
Secretary  no  later  than  July  15  prior  to  the 
session  in  which  the  candidate  wishes  to  regis- 
ter in  order  that  the  candidate,  if  accepted,  will 
receive  all  information  necessary  for  registration 
by  the  beginning  of  September.
